UPDATE 9/12/2014 at 4:30 p.m. ET: Danny Ferry has now decided to take an indefinite leave of absence from the Atlanta Hawks, following the release of an audio recording of his comments. In a statement, Ferry said, “I will maximize my time during this leave to meet with community leaders and further educate myself and others on the extremely sensitive issues surrounding race, diversity, and inclusion. I will find a way to make a positive difference in this area, and further learn from the sensitivity training that I will go through.”
UPDATE 9/12/2014 at 11:30 a.m. ET: The Atlanta Journal Constitution has obtained an audio recording of a portion of the conference call on which Danny Ferry spoke. The quality is not good, but the portion dealing with Luol Deng starts around the 1:10 mark.
